Cruise Description:

Come with us on the lower Connecticut River and experience an area that has been labeled by The Nature Conservancy as "One of the Last Great Places".

Our cruises are comfortable, relaxing and affordable. This is a great cruise for family, relatives from out of town or just to come for river ride. Enjoy this beautiful, pristine river in our own backyard.

Bring your camera and binoculars (we have a limited supply on board for loan) on all cruises, you never know what you'll see.

We will leave from our dock at Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam and cruise south towards the mouth of the Connecticut River. We will see the Goodspeed Opera House (located directly across the river) and the Goodspeed Airport. We may even see our resident Bald Eagles!

We will pass by Gillette Castle, one of Connecticut's main tourist attractions, the Chester/Hadlyme Ferry, the second oldest operating ferry in Connecticut and Mount Saint John's School for Boys in Deep River. Captain Mark and/or crew will tell you all about the castle, William Gillette, the ferry and Mount Saint John's.

There is seating for each individual aboard RiverQuest. Passengers can be out of the sun, wind, or drizzle in our cozy cabin area. Or sit or stand outside on our open stern or bow deck.

RiverQuest leaves the dock on time! Please check in at the dock at least ten minutes before departure.

NOTE: If we meet our capacity, we will leave the dock before our scheduled departure.

Parking: There is PLENTY of FREE parking. RiverQuest is normally docked on Dock #1. When you come in the park, go to parking lot #1, the first lot on the left.
